Work, transformers and food

Started work already...

Stucked in a tiny room (very very very tiny room) filing mails the entire day.

Quite boring actually. But at least I enjoy this job better than my IA.

You don't get paper cuts when you file mail. But you get mail cuts. And file cuts. Was filing a mail into a file today when I was sliced at the flesh beneath my fingernails by a file.

Twice.

At the same spot. My poor index finger.

Ouch.

It's an irritating kind of pain.

Typing hurts.

Anyway, first time working in the central business district.

Its really interesting in the morning when you squeeze on the train with everyone. Raffles MRT can be very packed. Then you see everyone brisk walking towards their office. Everyone looks very listless, dull and zombie-like.

Its like we all became robots.

On the topic of MRT, how do you know when to give up a sit to someone who needs it more? Sometimes, a pregnant woman may not actually be pregnant, just fat. And some of the old people actually look very fit and healthy still. If I was old and still healthy, and if a youngster were to offer his seat to me, I'd think I'll feel rather insulted. Then you have the old ladies, who go and dye their hair black, or red, or hazelnut brown, or something, then you can't really tell how old they actually are. And if they are aunties, I don't really like to offer seats to them, because they are so kiasu the moment they get on the train, ramming through everyone to get to an unoccupied seat...

Or am I thinking too much? Hmm

Lunch is also very packed. No seats everywhere, have to share tables with total strangers.

But its interesting sometimes, listening on to their conversations.

I eat alone, but I guess that is not such a bad thing. Can find places easily and can walk around the shopping centers after my meal. Lots of freedom.

Caught transformers last Saturday with a few of my friends. it was OKAY.

But it WAS NOT TOO GREAT.

Let me explain why.

Firstly, I understand the need of injecting some humor into movies. It makes it enjoyable. But some of the jokes in the show were so lame. I felt it actually took away some of the seriousness of the film. It dumbed down the epic-ness of the movie.

Secondly, story wasn't the focus of the movie. The whole movie was mainly action. Granted, this is an action blockbuster, but still, it would be a lot more enjoyable it had a better story script.

But that aside, the movie was still enjoyable to a certain degree. Some of the CGI was really cool. Loved especially how Starscream transformed in and out of the fighter jet while taking on the army fighter jets.

Ate alot of good and expensive food recently. Luckly I am already working.

Ate this at Sakae a while back. Forgot what its called. Sabuza soba or something. Anyway, to Nicholas and Christopher...You see that quill egg on that..."plastercine"? How do I go about eating that? Do I pour the yolk over the soba? I did that, but it doesn't seem right. There's ice under the soba, and the yolk becomes too diluted. Moreover, once you dip the noodles into the sauce, the yolk coating is washed off.
So how?

Do I just drink it straight?

Shared this fondue at Haagen Das with my friends on the day we caught Transformers. Its an ice cream fondue. Nothing special. But it sure looks nice. As most desserts tend to be with their nice presentation.

My 2 other friends had this. Chocolate journey I think. Now that I think of it, its probably called chocolate journey because you have to first start with that hot belgium chocolate drink (or the right most ice cream), and once you are done with it, you move on to the next flavour ice cream and so on. A journey through the different flavours of chocolate ice cream.

This is the rib eye steak with MUSHROOM sauce that I ate at New York New York. This is the before picture.

Rib eye steak with MUSHROOM sauce (After).

I cleared everything! The steak was done just the way I like. Medium rare, with abit of blood oozoing out as I slice into the tender meat. The MUSHROOM sauce was, well, what can I say. Its MUSHROOM! So it was superb. The wedges were very good too. What surprised me was that I actually finished the salad. Some of my friends would know I don't really like veggies. Especially the raw ones. But the salad was surprisingly tasty. Proof in the picture that I cleared my plate. For $19.90, it was well worth every penny. Or cent.

Very yummy.

Oh. And I realised I have a habit of leaving my cutlery at this 4 or 5 O'clock position everytime I finish my meal. I think it has something to do with this vague memory of hearing something when I was young, that by placing the cutlery in this manner, it is an indication that you are done with your meal.
